Hi Jonathan!

Thanks for your question.

We do not require mobility participants to take courses on the OLS platform, however, we are aware that some individual schools or mobility programs may ask their students to complete courses on our platform.

As our language courses end at the B2 level, I invite your student to enjoy our other courses on the EU Academy platform, found here: https://academy.europa.eu/

Some of the course topics include Economics for Disaster Prevention & Preparedness Science for Policy Makers, and even a course on Arial Forest Firefighting

A great way for your student to stay involved is by joining our forum discussions. All students are invited to create discussions on topics of their choice in the "Living Abroad" or "Practice Your English" forums. They could discuss ideas developed from doing our courses or create a subject entirely of their own.

For other ways to keep your student's level at C1 or higher, they should read our blogs. The newest one is about how to create a vibrant social life. Then your student can go to the forum thread, "Create your own fun!" to add their thoughts, ideas or experiences.

The professional English and business English series may be of interest to your student too. Feel free to tell them to check out the following two discussions:

1. Career Corner: Moving to Brussels - Professional English and Job Readiness
2. Professional English Practice: What are you doing? Build your vocabulary while speaking about your mobility experience.

Your students should definitely keep an eye out for our Announcements where they can find out about our in-person and online events where mobility participants can practice their English live. Here's an example of a past announcement about the EU's Research and Innovation Days.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. I am always happy to help!

Iya.
